Justin,
Yep, I guess that says it all. My shirt might say, "Why should Nashville even matter to you?" It's the whole attitude that I just don't get. When did the "Texas Recruitment call" go out to Texas forcing them to join the Tennessee Divisions? Are their arms breaking from being twisted to come to Nashville? Are there "Nashville recruiting stations" on the street corners there? It is what is so hard for us to understand. You have your own country, Texas, you have your own charts, your own clubs, your own route, you make your money, you have your fan base, you sell your products, have your own festivals, have your own world, what does it even matter what Nashville thinks or means?
Like everybody in every other place knows NOBODY SENT FOR YOU! If you don't like it, DON'T COME!
I guess we should get out our "Hate Texas" shirts. Maybe we could open up our "Dallas sucks' concessions on Lower Broadway. Maybe if we could get our door people to turn people away when they read a liscence that says "Texas" on it. Maybe we could do the "boycott Texas" and quit standing up for Rick Perry against everybody that wants to cuss the political situation over there.
I've never seen a clearer case of 'Industry envy." Texas needs to get over it and appreciate what they have instead of builidng up hate and resentment. And some of us here in the Volunteer state are still willing to stand behind Texas when a lot of the rest of this country wants them to be absorbed back into Mexico. Remember, we sent Davy Crockett at the Alamo. Might need some allies before long.
But if they want to hate us, I guess they can. JUST QUIT EXPECTING US TO LIKE THEIR LONG WINDED DATED SONGS.
Get out of 1985.
